Navy Renaming Ships That Were Named For Racists

[drauz]

Navy Task Force Calls for Changing Ship Names that Honor Confederacy

They are looking at renaming ships that honor the confederacy (for example, the Chancellorsville) and ship that honor racist politicians. One example given is the carrier John C. Stennis, a Senator who supported racial segregation through his tenure in the Senate, from 1947 to 1989. Of course, he was a Republican, because we all know that republicans are the racists. Oh, wait, no, Stennis was an ardent Democrat throughout his entire career.

So are you mad a racist won't have a ship named after them?
